The next Badshot show is in Chickasha in just a week and a half. Well worth attending.

Agree with the increase in online purchases vs gun shows. Especially with younger buyers becoming more of the consumers. Gun show, I have to pay 15$ just to get in and not know what/who Ill see when I get in? Online, free browsing from home. That being said, it's pretty hard to purchase a firearm without ever seeing it in real life.

I always look for stuff that hasn't been imported in the last 15 years.

Support your local, small, brick and mortar dealer. That dollar spent will be spent 7 more times locally, supporting local business, jobs and taxes; actually lowering your tax burden. The online price is really not cheaper, in the long run. Plus, you don't get to fondle before purchasing.

It's also a sign of the economy. Money get tight. Ammo still up (even though it's coming back to normal). It might pick up with hunting season and Xmas.

The trend has been closures of brick and mortar stores. I think a lot of these smaller stores came about during the scare and probably won't survive the contraction after.

Spot on, I think. Also I think one of the facets of why the scarcity was so long lived. The big companies understand business, and knew that the surge would be temporary. They didn't add extra production capacity even though it would have eased supply, because once the panic buying was over, they'd be sitting on capital and jobs they no longer needed. Then it'd be liquidation and layoffs.
